Strawberry Spinach Salad W/Raspberry-Key Lime Vinaigrette image

Refreshing salad loaded with salad greens, strawberries, blood oranges, and dried cranberries. Lightly sweetened with a chopped pecan/brown sugar mixture and then drizzled with a delightful raspberry-key lime vinegarette dressing. Created for RSC #11. FYI...you can substitute mandarin oranges for the blood oranges and regular limes for the key limes. I have had good results with both substitutions.

I'm not sure about the raspberry key lime vinaigrette. Is it too tart?
